Day 9 - Throw Pillow Change-up

Sorry for the late post today. Family in town + a sick baby = a momma who's falling behind! (I like to think I'll do better tomorrow, but no promises. :) So this evening we're just going to take a quick look at one of my favorite ways to spruce up a space. Throw pillows!

I love the way throw pillows can really make a room come together and feel complete. I also love that with a quick switch-a-roo to new pillows the whole room can feel fresh and new. And even more, I love it when pillows can coordinate with seasonal decor and colors. But I know that none of us really want to spend money buying new pillows all the time, or storing them while they are out of rotation. And the good news is, we don't have to! So today we are going to look at making simple pillow cases for our throw pillows, so we can keep using the same old pillows but give them a new look whenever we want (and save tons of $$$ and space in the process!

So you can definitely make any old pillow work in your home in a fresh new way. The tutorial I mentioned is for basic, simple pillow cases, but it could pretty easily be dressed to make all kinds of fancy pillow cases. Here are a couple examples from pinterest I would love to try:

Really, the possibilities are endless. So go find those pillows around you home and unlock their potential! It's amazing what a difference it will make! Maybe try something with yellows and reds for fall? Or maybe with a leaf applique? What ideas do you have for dressing up throw pillows?

You have a sewing list! I'm so proud! :) I crocheted some hats for Baby B, so you can be proud too. :) And thanks for the well wishes for Baby B! He is on the mend, and I'm hoping he'll be back to normal soon.
